He played in a fabulous side along with the other 2 degrees (sadly only Brendan Batson O.B.E. remains) Bomber, Cantello, Statham, Wile and Robson. Our on pitch rivalry was really at full tilt during the late 70s early 80s but Regis was majestical and I, as a ****ager, was in awe of him.
Really saddened by the news, I heard he found God after football, well I hope he finds solace with him today. Thoughts with those left behind.
